  The History of the Cessna 170
Cessna flew this aircraft, along with others he designed and built, in exhibition flights throughout the Midwest, continuously modifying the planes to improve their performance.
Cessna unveiled a pair of twin-engine aircraft in the early 1960s that were designed to avoid the asymmetrical drag that often occurs if one of the two engines fails—the Model 336 Skymaster (with fixed landing gear) and the Model 337 SuperSkymaster (with retractable landing gear).
In the 1960s, Cessna began producing lighter twin-engine aircraft with a pair of pressurized cabin models, the 411 and 421, followed by a move into the business jet aircraft market with the turbofan-powered Fanjet 500 in 1968.

 Cessna 172 from Fiddlers Green- an easy to build Card Model
Cessna expected the new 172 to have only limited success, in view of the release of the Cessna 177 Cardinal at the same time.
The 172 was designed to replace the Cessna 170, which used conventional (tailwheel) gear instead of tricycle (nosewheel) gear.
Many Cessna fans argue that the taildragging Cessna 170 was one of prettiest airplanes ever offered by the Wichita company.

 Cessna 172 Skyhawk - Aircraft History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane.
The 172 was a direct descendant of the Cessna 170, which used conventional (taildragger) landing gear instead of tricycle gear.
The Skyhawk is part of a large family of high-wing, tricycle-gear, single-engine Cessna planes, ranging from the two-seater 150/152 (no longer in production) to the more powerful 182 Skylane, the six-seat 206 Stationair, and the fourteen-seat turboprop 208 Caravan, along with several other models no longer produced.

It could be argued that the combination of the Cessna 180/185 and Snohomish pop-up jump door made skydiving possible in most parts of the country.
The company prospered and acquired a Cessna 182 for the New England DZ's and later acquired a pair of Cessna 180's Orange and Lakewood to relieve the demands by experienced jumpers on the Norseman.
Though many newer jumpers see the Cessna 206 as the mainstay single engine jump plane, most of the older jumpers see the Cessna 180/185 complimented by the Beechcraft Model 18 (twin) as the back bone of the air fleet that made jumping what it is today.

 Airliners.net: Cessna 170
A larger four seat development of the earlier Cessna Model 120 and 140, the four seat 170 was in production for almost a decade, and is the predecessor to the successful and long running 172 series.
The Cessna 170B featured the most significant revisions to the line, including the large wing flaps (first developed for the military L-19 Bird Dog) that were to become characteristic of later single engine Cessna models, revised tail wheel steering, larger rear windows and revised and lengthened engine cowling.
It is interesting to note that the 170 laid the foundation for Cessna's two most successful single engine light aircraft lines, the 172 and 182, as well as the 180 and 185.

 Cessna 170 Pilot Report
We all know that the Cessna 170 is the progenitor of the ever popular, omnipresent C-172.
Not looking for a cream puff 170, Hoover and Lewis spent their time searching for something that would be considered "sound"; no corrosion, a minimum of dents and dings, and a medium to low time engine, which wouldn't give them any trouble.
One thing about early Cessna flaps, there's absolutely no doubt when you're putting them out because the flap handle is the size of a broom stick and, when you have full flaps out, the handle sticks up between the seats and actually gets in the way of your elbow.

EAA is also working with Cessna Aircraft, the Cessna Pilots Association and other Cessna owner and pilot groups to recognize the aircraft and their owners during the event.

This is something that all Cessna pilots (should) know regardless of where their wheel is located (with a minor difference in nosewheel aircraft).
The basic rule whilst taxiing is to position the flight controls to either dive away from the wind, or climb into the wind depending on where the wind is coming from.
With a nosewheel high-wing Cessna the only difference is that you generally don't climb into the wind - you just leave the elevator neutral if taxiing upwind.

 The Cessna 170-172 two seat Light Aircraft personal airplane
The Cessna Model 170/172 and its immediate successors of the same family have the double distinction of being the best-selling series of lightplanes of all time, and also the most widely produced aircraft series yet developed, well over 30,000 examples having come off the production lines by the 1980s.
The origins of the series stretch back to 1948, when Cessna introduced the Model 170, itself little more than a four-Model 170 were improved radically, and all subsequent Cessna aircraft of the type have been designed round similar flaps.
The Cessna 172 looks like it is owned by a Green Bay Packers fan who graduated from Baylor (green and yellow!), or Oregon.
